Trusted by fast-growing companies

Finance, People, and Legal leaders at fast-growing companies, on what changed once equity ran on GAIA.

Tourlane
01 / 03
GAIA has become our go-to platform for employee contracts, capital structure management, and the full resolutions cycle — all with consistently responsive support. What I value most is that it's built by legal experts, not just software developers, which makes it rock solid from a compliance perspective.
Franck Pascault
CFO, Tourlane

02 / 03
Our equity used to live in spreadsheets and scattered systems. With GAIA, it's one source of truth - getting the grant paperwork done takes about 80% less time, and we can track everything required to hire.
Carolin Gütschow
Head of Legal, Parloa
Makersite

With GAIA's intuitive interface and robust features, we overcame our challenges around transparency, compliance, and efficient administration, and cut the time spent on equity admin by about 40%.

THE DIFFERENCE

Two ways to run equity.

01
WITHOUT GAIA

Every grant takes hours to produce and a week to sign

WITH GAIA

Grants issued in minutes and signed with a click

02
WITHOUT GAIA

Employees don't understand their equity

WITH GAIA

Employees see what their equity is worth, anytime

03
WITHOUT GAIA

No single view of what's vested and what's still outstanding

WITH GAIA

See fully-diluted ownership, including incentives, ready for audits

04
WITHOUT GAIA

Adding headcount adds hours of admin

WITH GAIA

Scales cleanly from 10 to 10,000 people

PRODUCT TOUR

One platform.
Every obstacle removed.

01 ·Incentive schemes

Grants out in minutes, everything tracked

Connect your HRIS or ATS - Personio, HiBob, Greenhouse, and hundreds more - and agreements are created on hire. We calculate vesting automatically and adjust it as people change hours or leave, so your data is always current.

Incentive schemes — agreement activity
02 ·Employee portal

Equity your team understands, and stays for

A personal dashboard gives every participant their holdings, vesting schedule, documents, and a what-if calculator for their potential upside. Equity only retains people when they understand it.

Employee portal — vesting potential
03 ·Cap table

Always investor and audit ready

Every stakeholder and outstanding option in one accurate overview, with the full history behind each position. Export a clean report in one click, or model your next round or exit before anyone signs.

Cap table — Series A overview
04 ·Governance

Governance, handled

Shareholder and board resolutions go from template to signed in days, not weeks - fully integrated with your cap table and your defined majorities. Use our template or your own, track and remind voters with a click.

Governance — shareholder resolution
EIP · §19A ESTG · FOR GERMAN COMPANIES

The only platform
with native EIP.

Germany's Equity Incentive Plan under §19a EStG lets employees receive real equity with significant tax advantages. Employees get more value from every grant. Companies need less dilution to deliver it. Built in exclusive partnership with PXR, GAIA supports EIP natively, from structuring your plan to ongoing compliance. This isn't a bolt-on. It's built in.
